- You want to know what "timeless" is? You want to know what a good car investment is? You want to know what an amazing interior feels like? Here's everything. Here's the first generation Acura NSX. The car that Honda didn't have to make, but did.
Clarification: The PlayStation 1 was released in Japan in 1994 and 1995 in North America. - Авто та транспорт
One presidential term later, he wasn't joking.
Plenty of these now go for $100K.
omg hi omni rider
*tears*
Hey bladed
Put a prior design kit on your Corvette. You won't regret it.

@@marquaviouschester6947 you get us on first half ngl
Pop up headlights alone add 25k to the price
👌
Tell it to mkIII Supras.
The Almighty Cornholio only 25k
MY dude pop up headlights quadruple the price of it
Really??
Pretty true, especially with the NSX, since the ones with pop-ups cost way more than the redesign with fixed headlights (stupid new laws, fuckin' up all the great cars). But, pop-up headlights are original, striking, and show that you are not someone who drives a new car. Not to mention, so many cars with them are SO iconic, like the NA Miata, RX-7, AE86, and of course, the NSX.
When this car was still on showroom floors, I remember reading a road test that summed it up like this:
Only Honda could engineer a car that can bore you with blinding speed. What would require shaking and screeching and all manner of commotion, the NSX does smooth, silent and with ease."
The bad thing about 1994 is that Ayrton Senna died. He helped develop the NSX.
I like to think that a small part of his soul resides in each NSX.
It does. Honda specifically asked him what they needed to fix after he said he wasn't qualified to have an opinion on a mass production car. So he was honest. And what they fixed is the reason this car is so good. When they fixed the stiffness, he drove it in loafers. He loved it.
Horcruxes!
No mention of Ayrton Senna.
I'm impressed.
SpaceManDawn lol i was expecting if anyone would say that
TheMrZomboss
Usually reviews around this car go something like
"THE SENNA IS OVERWHELMING, IT'S SO SENNA THAT MY SENNA IS SQUIRTING SENNAS. OMG SENNA!!!!!"
SpaceManDawn Cool dad is not impressed
Kuhn92
THE STIFFNESS OF SENNA'S CHASSIS IS EQUAL TO THE STIFFNESS OF MY DICK.
Kuhn92 That's the driver that kids like
The Roman's mixtape is fire
Hugh Jass Definitely spreading out his genres. He is one drop away from Nerdcore but its nice to see something more than twangy love songs..
Supa hot fire? He spits that.
That Really Got Dangits My Bobbies OOOOOOHHHHHHH!
STRAIGHT FIRE FAM
***** b0ss
the NSX makes me feel a lot better about my 2000 accord coupe, their rear ends are so similar
I bought my 2002 Accord coupe because of that and drove it for the next 14 years!
the rear end of 2000 accord coupe looks like nsx with a down syndrome, im so sorry.

Igor Cywiński Ur right tho
@@igorcywinski7477 be nice. From an NSX and Accord coupe owner
Honda NSX: Italian Style, Japanese Quality.
Today,Italian quality are better.Look for Alfa Romeo, Maserati etc.
@@the_normal Maserati has had cars with various recalls and are owned by crappy corporations
@@the_normal What? They're just as bad as they've ever been. The new Giulia is a mass of electrical gremlins, the new Ghibli is full of corner cutting etc
@@the_normal down bad Little Marco
@@the_normal Maseratis are dogshit quality lol, shits break constantly😂.
this is a sick love letter to the NSX
I'd listen to the full version of that outro rap. That shit was legit.
Yo yo yo muhdick! yeah...
CJ Nortier yes dude
Lemon Scented sounds like early 2000’s rap
Lemon Scented Yo that shit was gangsta!
Those rhymes are cold. But it reminds me less of Southerplayalistic, Ready to Die, and Illmatic (all 1994!), more like Q-Tip's 1999 Amplified.
In terms of looks, the NSX had aged so incredibly well. Like a fine wine.
PS: that hip hop piece was fire at the end.
"It's a Mid-engine car, so it has a frunk and you can put stuff in it, If you don't care what happens to it. It's the same approach i take with my scrotum since I don't plan on having kids or owning a dog or getting married. Because being some ones live preserver is not what I call progress."

In 1994, I was:
- Watching the Fresh Prince of Bel Air
- Playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles
- Listening to Collective Soul
- Staring at the Acura NSX poster in my bedroom
I wish I was 9 again.

andxx0r_the_second Ayrton Senna died dude, Ayrton Senna died...
Kaisuke971 How are Ayrton Senna and Pink Floyd the same? Their last big hits were the wall!
I'm a fan of the guy, I was sad when his death was all over the TV in 1994, I own the movie on DVD, but I wish his widows would shut the hell up sometimes. Thanks, RegularCars, for not making the OMG SENNA DROVE AND HELPED WITH THIS CAR!!!!1 connection.
andxx0r_the_second I wasn't even born yet though
andxx0r_the_second Me too, however today I watched some Fresh Prince at work, listened to some N.W.A and watched a review on a NSX.
I wish I could afford an NSX.
I was in the mountains in Nagano (Japan) and I came across AT LEAST 50 90s NSXs driving in a line. It was a NSX meetup, and to see so many of these cars I’ve idolized since I was a kid was pretty cool.
I have to buy one of these...so bad. I don't even like Japanese cars as much as American cars, but THE NOSTALGIA FROM THE GRAN TURISMO DAYS IS REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, Also INVESTMENT.
Although TBH, I'd probably drive one these everyday because fuck I don't care about gaining mileage. Cars are meant to be driven.
Welp im gonna do the exact opposite
- some collector
But still it's sad
Hey look it’s Balded Angle
I agree. I just got an import 1996 SVX S4 trim, only 125k km, clocked in 15000 km in just 6 months, daily that thing in freakin salty Toronto. AMSOIL fluids, 91 fuel, and constant touchless car wash, roll like a boss with a purpose. I want my SVX to hit half a million km, I want it to hit a million afterwards. A car that sits has no purpose, however a daily car has all the purpose.
some cars didn't meant to be driven but honda be damned if the nsx wasn't a ferrari beater and a daily driver in the same time. I am Soichiro Honda and i'll make enzo turn in his grave .
This comment and every reply to it, is the correct take : ) I wish instead of a maximum mileage on a ferrari lease that there was a minimum mileage on awesome cars. I know it means they get a little more beat up, some get wrecked, some get rusty. Good. That means they're being used, that's a worthy price to pay for cars like this to be out rippin around
HEADLIGHTS GO UP!
HEADLIGHTS GO DOWN!
Antimation Studios UP DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN!
Antimation Studios the headlights go up, the price goes down
Hagz500R UPDOWNUPDOWNUPDOWNUPDOWN!
Antimation Studios I would flip the lights so hard... I'd make the motors wear out, hopefully landing in the correct up position.
Antimation Studios Frog eye's.......something thats very lacking from new cars. I'm so sad I have to sell mk2 supra....I'm going to miss that beautiful smile.
I don't mind the new one, but I don't think it's as cool as this.
+silvergbasp13 yeah but the 2002 nsx doesnt have pop ups. And nsx pop ups suck. I just like how aggresive this simple box car looks. Unlike the new NSX that looks like an 2009 civic took parts of a lambo and placed it on as aero.
I like this and but I've aways liked the look of the fixed headlights of the 02-05 models btw I've aways loved that look on twilights face XD
*****
Headlights go up, headlights go down!
One version of the new NSX I'd like to see is one that strips out the AWD hybrid gear and replaces the silly 9 speed with something like a 6 speed sequential or something, making it a purely RWD car with a turbo six. Something akin to the 911 GT3.
Spike Blade saw a 1991 NSX on CarGurus recently going for only $25,000, and only has 50,000 miles on it. It’s an automatic though, probably explains why the other ones I see there are going for 50-100k
"The only time we really saw this car was from the back on gran turismo 1 when the computer was beating you" this guy is hilarious
he's right.
"The styling is TIMELESS!"
*focus in on pop-up headlamps*
Okay, but the post facelift NSX though.
I love popup headlights:p
I've always wanted one of these. Literally always. Since the day I was born in 1976.
Forehead Jones wut?
Forehead Jones Are you a wizard?
I've seen one at a dealership for only 34k. There not that expensive.
Forehead Jones literally always? you were born and you immediately wanted an nsx?
brad cool Yes. It's the car I've always wanted.
That's 30 minutes away........I'll be there in 10
Nine minutes and 37 seconds later:
Pulp fiction 😄😄
The wolf
I actually forgot the NSX was driven by that guy in Pulp Fiction, thanks for reminding me!
Shoot, that's all you had to say!
The amount of great albums released in 1994 is just staggering.
You have to agree that actually seeing one is a privelage
I see one every day but it’s been parked for over 10 years. :(
Did some digging and it’s a 1991 with 98k miles, last registered in 2007. Makes me sad to see it die but it’s not for sale and costs to get it sorted would probably be astronomical.
That freestyle at the end was dope,like Nas in 94..
Crazy Oj got parole today lol.
another reason 1994 was a great year.
Let's not forget ready to die by BIG
Nothing is freestyle
He got them street bars. Earned his pass righteously.
$50,000? the Type Rs and some later models are even more expensive. Well screw my retirement money Im buying an NSX.
Cesar Cantu at first they sold for more.
Cesar Cantu hope you went through with it and bought 4. Cause you’re done saving lmao.
That's crazy for a driver, maybe an investment. $50k will get you a really great Vette
Classic cars are more fun and have actual car-guy type feel when driving. What grown man wants traction control and airbags? For one, ruins design. For two, it's for pussies
@@CaptainFALKEN I think is the first time I've heard someone shit on airbags lmfaooo
This car is the hottest car made in the 90’s. Car of the decade.
They nailed the interior design of the NSX. Gorgeous. It doesn’t look new, but it doesn’t look ancient. As you said, it’s beautifully timeless. It’s very easy on the eyes and everything just looks...right. Interesting tread pattern on the spare.
Those sport coupe with pop up lights have a big effect on kids. (no pedobear)
I drive a red MR2 SW20 and nobody gives a fuck except kids. Every-time I pass in front of kids they react like it was a ferrari lol.
Maybe it's a car for those who are still kids in their heads.
+Pow3rus They probably are too young to remember when the motor that pops up the lights would go out, and you had to drive around with them up all the time.
+Pow3rus Yeah , i got same on my Ford probe Gt ;D
+Pow3rus Haha, I get the same reaction from kids with my NA Miata. They just stare at the headlights.
+Pow3rus
Hey Bro, I drive a Yellow MR2 SW20.
Kids love em and older people chindrop thinking it's an ferrary.
Love my MR2. Sweet car, Great comfort and luxury.
+Pow3rus yes dude. one kid stomp on my RS13 (240sx here) and said "look mom a black ferrari"
1994 was also Super Metroid and Doom II: Hell on Earth.
And I was born haha
And the death of Richard M Nixon.
And the introduction of the B-body Impala SS, the 4th-gen Mustang, and 6th-gen Celica. And um... white text on the gauges of the Camaro, and some important change in the type of sensor in the intake of GM's LT1 engine. What else.. Kurt Cobain died, too.
AOL keyword: Sonic 3
I honestly perfered doom 1
because doom 2 had a jumping section 2 lvls in on underhalls that i couldn't beat because the PlayStation 1 version was broken.
Had a 92, it was amazing and extremely comfortable. When you accelerate the front end wanted to take off. Wonderful daily.
DAILY?! 🧐 if you had too much money buy me one 😂😂
One of the funniest, yet informative reviews ever! Thank you for making this video. I am delighted to have one - 1991.
Roman's rap at the end is so fantastic
That was better than even the best rhymes Kayne could spew.
The Honda NSX is BY FAR not a Regular Car.
agree
Try reading the name of the show like: Regular, car reviews. As in the reviews are for normal people. It's also a joke.
+TheBajamin Fist of all there is no , after regular, so this actually means Reviews of REGULAR everyday cars.
Secondly, all reviews are meant for Regular People.
Thirdly I was also joking, kindaaa....
You are a very un-fun person who takes life too literal. Consider relaxing.
+TheBajamin that's funny cause my friends always wonder how I can always be so funny and happy.
You don't know me !
But the point here is that I was right, you was wrong, and the NSX is still anything but an ordinary car.
Some cars never look dated, always cool and timeless. This is certainly one of them. Always a head turner.
The NSX to me is one of my favorite attainable sports cars (hell you can argue it’s a supercar). Out of the C5 Corvette, NA Miata, Subaru STI and Evo 9, this is probably my second favorite one since the entinte Corvette line is my favorite car ever. But the NSX provides s i m p l i c i t y . In a world filled with straight pipes, turbo hood exit exhausts and crazy rolled fenders with tighter fitment than a nun’s asshole, the NSX gives enough power but a beautiful amount of handling. Oh and the body, bless the body lines, bless the makers of this vehicle. Bless the late Ayrton Senna (he makes me proud to be Brazilian at least), because without Honda and Senna what car would take the NSX’s place? All the Italian supercars came with too much horsepower and looked like a kindergartener’s wet dream, there was always space for a fantastic handling, decent horsepower, mid engine, manual car, but there was no car in the space until the NSX came by. Bless the NSX
Wild _Toilet it is a super car. what part about it isn't a super car? it fills all the requirements to be one.
@@ahapainenpaavo6010 not nearly enough power to be a supercar. if handling alone were enough, then things like the lotus elise would be a supercar. the NSX is exactly what the OP said it is.
sproly born Not enough power? This car was made to beat Ferraris and that's what it did.
@@ahapainenpaavo6010 It beat SOME ferraris. I would also argue that the 348, the one the NSX beat is not a supercar either because it too lacks power in the context of a supercar. The supercar of that year made by ferrari was the 512. The NSX did not beat the 512.
sproly born So you think a super car needs to hit some magical horsepower number in order to be a supercar. this is hopeless.
damn that shifter is so narrow i thought it was automatic
1:43 look at the side mirrors and listen to his voice.
The Seer His crotch?!🤣🤣
Ahhhhh! So great
Right to the G E A R S H I F T E R
well i guess we all know why he aint having kids
Thanks for making me want one even more... This shot from the front, where we see you driving towards us, is how I want to be seen in the rearview mirror of every car before I pass it. This isn't a car, it's an astral ship.
That R. Kelly joke really aged well.
Kick starter to buy Mr Regular an NSX?
mans alans I'd give $10 if he would let me drive it for a few minutes :P
The peoples NSX.
mans alans How about just one to buy him a supercharged AW11? I've considered it.
mans alans What's a kick starter?
FuZionSniperzZ What's an internet?
when i sold the nsx back in 1991 the key was actually made of titanium. in connection with the titanium elements that were implemented into the car's engine. ;-)
I had no idea you watched regular car reviews that's awesome!!! PS I love the NSX one of the best Japanese cars ever produced plus I already watched you quickie car review on it!!!!
Grant Moseley he he he first and foremost i'm a "real car" nut... hot wheels just make it possible for me to fulfill that hunger lol without trying to be jay leno's garage lol
94 was an amazing year. A dude in my uncle's neighborhood had an nsx. I'll never forget seeing it for the first time.
it is unbelievable how well the NSX has aged. the coolest car.
you forgot one thing in 1994
senna's death!
the guy who improve the nsx in 1990 before its release
quite ironic
That rap at the end....excellent!
I have to say this now.. I ve been watching your videos through the years ...and i love them..you are doing a great job! great camera work and the style of your "monologue",the specific way you have to tell the story it is awesome!! You know how to share the passion you have with cars! 😎👌🍷
I’ve watched so many of these older rcr videos a few years back and now im finding myself coming back to them a second time. Im not sure why but it’s a nice feeling. Maybe because I have a better understanding of cars. I’m not sure but i like this feeling
But sadly in 1994 our hero Ayrton Senna died.
Didn't he love NSXs? Or was that another F1 racer...
ShiftyWilliaml He was the test drive for it's development
ShiftyWilliaml dude he made the NSX. He literally worked with Honda to develop it. So the NSX literally drives the way Ayrton Senna wants it to drive.
ShiftyWilliaml he tested one of the prototypes and gave feedback, from memory he convinced the designers to stiffen the chassis more which apparently made the car somewhat better
Senna was in part of developing the nsx
Wasn't that the one Mr Wolf drove in Pulp Fiction?
+spratsprat yes
Its thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.
Then the sound editor put a v8 engine sound over it...
were can i download the end song
Yup.
This guy should have been a successor to Jeremy Clarkson
He said the same thing about the gear shifter that Clarkson's said...
"Because being someone else's life preserver is not what i call progress" That phrase makes mes come back to this video again and again.
That's what you get for a car that Ayrton Senna helped develop.
This beauty, and its other brother from another mother (and father) McLaren F1 GTR, is my 90's dream car.
And Kurosawa Motoharu.
He was only responsible for the suspension tuning.
Kamofy that's a huge part of the car
Ki i agreed.
While 1994 was an embarrassment of riches, the man who fine-tuned the chassis of this car also passed at Imola. Full circle, I guess?
Great review. "Loud styling, quiet engineering". I want an NSX even more now.
Neighbors down the street had one when i was growing up. Always thought it looked cool. Years later (after they had sold it) i realized what i had been looking at all along. This was one of the things that mad me love cars. My stepdad also had a lime green 74 Duster with a 340.
Best ending song yet.
This is like, the most positive review I have ever heard on here. Well deserved!
Who needs top gear when you have RCR
Oliver Hilton
You need RCR because you CAN'T have Top Gear!
Man you are awesome! I have just found this channel and its pure gold.
'Of course this is manual, why wouldn't it be?' Fucking lol.....so true
Also the greatest rap album of all time, Illmatic, came out in 1994.
Riley Freeman and Nas raps about it in Illmatic to.
Riley Freeman I came to the comments looking to see if someone put READY TO DIE
Jose Martinez hahah you’re mad
Yea Nas raps about it in “street dreams”
That induction note is beautiful, thanks for the video rcr
I regularly come back to watch this episode for the amazing intro
Can't freakin wait for the POV drive of this car :O
hell yissssssss!

This is the best review you guys have ever put out
Awesome review.
But the freestyle at the end stole the show.
Straight BARZ !
Mitsubishi GTO MR '95 (after '95 they stopped doing active aero, and swapped to that stupid monstrous wing)
Nissan Skyline GTR R33 '95
Toyota Supra RZ (MK IV '95)
Honda NSX '95
Subaru Impreza WRX STI '95 (2nd Gen had those stupid bug headlights)
The mid 90's was such a great year for cars.
hmmm, the list thought, referring to Gran Turismo main car, right?,
Gara Von Hoiwkenzoiber "Nissan Skyline GTR R33 '95"
yeh except the R33 was biggger, slower, heavier, and you didnt have the fuse trick for the diff like you did with the R32 GTR.
honestly the R33 was just a downgrade
Gara Von Hoiwkenzoiber And the forgotten rally god: Celica GT4.
King Geedorah Actually the R33 was a faster car around the track than the 32. Also, they aged much better than the 32 did. The 32 feels like an ancient heap of shit when you're in it, but the 33 still feels modern. And fuse trick, who cares? Why would you buy an AWD car just to haphazardly make it RWD?
koopatroopa187"Actually the R33 was a faster car around the track than the 32"
do you have a source for this? i would love to see it considering the handling of the R33 is much worse due to its weight.
"Also, they aged much better than the 32 did. The 32 feels like an ancient heap of shit when you're in it,"
that entirely depends on the car and its owner.
"And fuse trick, who cares? Why would you buy an AWD car just to haphazardly make it RWD?"
this is a matter of opinion, just because you dont see a use for it doesnt mean that it is useless.
goddam roman got bars
The first gen NSX is still my favorite car, even after all this time. It truly does have a timeless elegance to it's design.
Might be the best NSX review I have ever watched
Daniel byran reference, your now my favourite of all youtube car reviewers
Ben McCarthy Yes!
Would this car be adequate for track day, bro ?
MrTabarnaco2 On a slower technical track yes.
Indy7272 so pretty much any damn public track in the states that has at least one S turn
....
R2D2 one sorry ment to tag op
MrTabarnaco2 Nah, you'd be better off getting something like a brand new Focus ST, it'd murder this on any track and you'd have a bucketload of money left over to make it go even faster & no originality or rarity guilt about modifying it or wrecking it. This is not a fast car in the modern world. No doubt rewarding to drive, but not fast. Good investment too.
MrTabarnaco2 you don't race investments....unless you can afford 2
Lol Great commentary. This video is 9 years old as I view it now and the commentary feels like it is may have been ahead of its time 9 years ago and the video feels very modern.
Everything about this video was dope. Especially The Roman at the end!
Honda is the only badge I want on that car
You can buy Honda parts to fix that. I've seen it done.
Just buy jdm version
Not but the H.
I grew up in the 80ies - 90ies. This was one of my favorites in Need for Speed (the first game - PC)
The rap at the end was amazing. Skyrim is amazing heh.
Having driven behind a 94 NSX, the rear lights are a standout beauty, looks massive.
Is this Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus?
Hugh Jass yes
No, this is patrick
***** It will live on.
That being said it looks like it could be Matt Farah's Million Mile Lexus
this is my dream car...
Mine too. There’s a ‘91 near my house that’s not running and in the back of my mind I’m always thinking about asking the owner if he’d sell it... but cars that have been sitting for that long probably aren’t worth fixing.
@@yammmit if you did, fixing it could result in more expenses, it can be more expensive than what you get at a mint condition
Farrell that’s why I said probably not worth it. Still it makes me sad to see a great car die.
@@yammmit i feel your pain
To be honest, the nsx has gotta be one of the most amazing cars ever made.
😂"Being someone's life preserver is not what I call progress." So much truth.
2:25 The best quote from Mr. Regular
I was literally thinking "I wonder if Regular Car Reviews has a review of the NSX"
I was happy to see this in my subs.
Dell0304 I got extremely excited lol
Dell0304 now they need to do the Acura integra Type r
ye
Dell0304 Now they need to do a galant VR4 or a mk2 supra.
They did an '87 supra, not sure off the top of my head if it's mk2
am currently doing a co-op at an auto garage. on my first day there I saw a gorgeous, pristine, black 1994 Acura NSX parked silently in one of the bays. I felt unworthy. And just seeing that car made the day one the best days I will probably ever have. In addition a few weeks later a pristine Honda s2000. In short, I'm enjoying co-op thoroughly
Love the green/tan/black combo. Elegant and uncommon color that green. So many of these are red, black, or white.
"Engine displacement of whatever" hahahaha!
hahaha he mentioned Pulp Fiction....wonder if he realized that the NSX was in Pulp Fiction
Mr Wolf car... haha
i remember it being on Seinfeld
I didn't realize how damn small that car was until you drove it around the lot. Jesus that thing is like miata-sized lambo. Nice.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone fall in love with a car like this before. Or at least be able to put it into words so well
5:23 I think in all my years of living this is the first time I've ever seen an pop up NSX's headlights.
Wooow, wait a sec, is this Matt Farrah's million mile Lexus?
From the front head-on, this is the most beautiful car in the world. I used to have an 89 Prelude si and I always fantasized I could put the front end of a NSX on it.
this has become my favourite channel...
Thank you Mr. Regular. Thank you. I love you.
I loved this car back in the 90s. I would have killed to get one.
I love how chill the guy is as you shove the camera into the cockpit past his face. XD
The last time I saw an NSX in real life, it was getting air on a desert trail in Arizona.
